Get your taxes done using TurboTax

To skip reporting this one-time income as 'Self-Employment Income', when entering your 1099-Misc, choose 'this work is not like my main job' and  that you 'had no intent to earn money' (screenshots).

 

This will put the income as Other Income in your return, instead of Self-Employment Income.
